Hyde Park is also worth a visit. Between the Vanderbilts and the Roosevelts, it is very interesting.
I was interested to note at the Franklin Roosevelt museum that there was a court case regarding the social security plan passed by the legislature - almost exactly similar to the ones pending regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act that the Obama administration enacted. Fortunately or unfortunately, war broke out and interest in court cases waned quickly.
Glenda and Mary Louise had heard about the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park. Glenda set us up with reservations and "appropriate clothing" from a thrift store. Don't we look great?
It was great fun.
I didn't realize the major impact the Roosevelts had on our nation. It was amazing foresight, when I perceive our current government representatives are only concerned with the here and now. Just think what might have happened if we had passed the miles per gallon expectations in the 70's when we should have.
